But, if you're going to be tapping that hole, you may want to remove the oil pan first.

go to www.goldplug.com and order a magnetic drain plug.

got it guys. I tried to tap it. still not enough threads to keep the plug tight.
had to remove it. wasnt too fun. removed the exhaust manifold from the block and dropped it down out of the way. I could shimmy the pan out without removing those rusty ass spring and flange bolts. applied sealer, good to go now. oh btw, I had a spare oil pan.
